Today I'm reflecting on the strength of the triangle of small business. The triangle is used as the building blocks of many structures. It's one of those things that now that it's been put in your head you'll see triangles in everything throughout your day like in this palapa.

It's a family-owned winery with a poem of love as part of the label. Bodega La Azul produces 833 cases of their Reserva a blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. They are side one of our triangle.

Side two of the triangle is us. We work with small wineries like Bodega La Azul to bring their excellent wines to the United States. We share the cool stories behind these small wineries to provide you with a connection when drinking these great wines. Because of the small production you won't find our wines in the larger restaurants or stores, which leads us to third side of the triangle.
